Last response: in CPUs
Not completely CPU related.
So I'm currently running a intel core 2 duo e8400, 4gb ddr2 memory, and a 5770. I'm wondering what part of my upgrade I should get first. GPU or CPU+RAM?
Should I get the GTX 660 first and then the i5 2500k and 8gb later? Or vice versa?

Personally I would go for the i5 2500k and the 8gb first, are you changing motherboards as well? I am pretty sure motherboards only support DDR2 or DDR3 but not both. Anyways, the HD 5770 will do a fine job in gaming and the new CPU and ram will increase performance much better compared to you getting the video card first.
